Page "Emperor Yūryaku" Paragraph 5
from
Wikipedia
According to Kojiki and Nihonshoki, Yūryaku was named Prince Ohatsuse Wakatake ( 大泊瀬 幼武 ) at birth.
Swords unearthed from some kofuns indicate his name was Waka Takeru ( Ōkimi ).
Yuryaku is a name posthumously assigned to him by a much later era.
He was the fifth and youngest son of Emperor Ingyō.
After his elder brother Emperor Ankō was murdered, he won the struggle against his other brothers and became the new emperor.
His title at his own lifetime was certainly not tennō, but presumably Ōkimi and / or Sumeramikoto ( 治天下大王-amenoshita shiroshimesu ōkimi, or sumera no mikoto, Great King who rules all under heaven ) and / or king of Yamato ( ヤマト大王 / 大君-yamato ōkimi, Great King of Yamato ).
He had three wives ( including his consort Kusahahatahi ).
His successor, Prince Shiraka ( Emperor Seinei ), was his son by his wife Kazuraki no Karahime.
